Any estimate or quote provided verbally, by phone, by email, or via the Site is based on information available at the time and is not a final price. Actual pricing may change after on‑site inspection and diagnosis.

For larger projects — such as bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, or whole‑house repiping — special orders, or certain emergency jobs, we may require a deposit prior to scheduling or commencing work. Deposits will be applied toward the final invoice and are generally non‑refundable once materials are ordered or work has begun.

6.2 Company Cancellations

In rare cases, we may need to cancel or reschedule due to weather, employee illness, safety concerns, or unforeseen circumstances. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you promptly and arrange a new appointment.
